Abstract
We report a case of carcinosarcoma of the minor salivary glands of the left palatine tonsil, an especially rare location. Imaging characteri stics assessed at CT, MR imaging, and angiography are presented. In ad dition, we describe our experience with preoperative therapeutic endov ascular embolization of this hypervascular tumor.
